1.-The leading men of the grad

1.-The leading men of the grad
ing on the Nampa branch were in
town Sunday, trying to make con-
tracts with our butchers and mer-
chants for meat and goods, to be
paid for when the grade was &C
cepted. Our business men did not
think the security offered was good
and no trade was made.
The Boise Democrat says: The
press generally refer to the late
VIM. Snyder, who was murdered
at Payette, in anything but COM
plimentary terms. This, of course,
is all done after the death of Mr..
Snyder. In life it was his custom
to take the man who accused him
by the neck and churn him over
into the next county.
Two young men of this city
took two young ladies out walking
last Sunday. The day was hot,
the young folks were tired and
when they came to a nice, inviting
shade, under friendly tree, they
sat down to rest. One of the young
men laid down on the grass and
went to sleep, and the rest of the
party, not being willing to disturb
his peaceful slumber, came back.
The sleepy young man did not
wake up until the next morning,
when he came into town before any
one was up. Thus is Rip Van
Wrinkle outdone.
On the night of May 10Th,
rail was placed on the track at
Glenn's Ferry. A reward of three
hundred dcllers ~es offered 70. the
arrest of the guilty parties by Supt.
Blickensderfer. Last Sunday a
young tramp was in Caldwell and
told some of the particulars Of the
affair. He was induced by Road
Master Olmstead to go back to
Glenn's Ferry by the promise of
work at that point. On his arrival
at Glenn's Ferry he gave the in
formation that two parties made
him help them place the rail on
the track. The two parties were
Immediately arrested.
During the continuance of the
great dairy and cattle show, held
in New York City in the second
week of May, the American Agri-
culturist monthly, issued a daily
paper on the grounds every morn
ing at ten o'clock, ofeighteen pages
describing the scenes and incidents
from day to day, and presenting il
Illustrations of the various cattle
and farm implements as premiums
were awarded them. Every num-
Der contained from thirty to forty
engravings Of cattle, etc. 1t was
rather of novelty for the Veteran
American Agriculturist, now not
far from it's fftieth birthday.
Mr.. Fred Brumzell, of Rey-
nolds Greek, was in town last Tues
day, and gives US the following par
ticulars of the sad death of Lewis |
Leonard, of Silver City, highly
respected young man of about 20
years of age: Last Sunday he and
Henry Sommercamp went up Long
Gulch on hunt. Henry carried a
rifle and Lew A Colts revolver.
While STOPPING over to pick up
something, the revolver by some
means became detached from the
holster and fell to the ground. The
hammer struck rock and fired the
revolver, the ball entering Lewis
groin and ranging upward. He
died almost Immediately, his only
words being ~ am dead"
-Ex-United States Senator
